...SPOTTY MINOR TIDAL FLOODING OCCURRING WITH THIS EVENING'S HIGH 
TIDE...

THE APPROACHING FULL MOON COMBINED WITH A WEAK ONSHORE FLOW WAS 
CAUSING SPOTTY MINOR TIDAL FLOODING THIS EVENING ACROSS THE BACK 
BAYS. AUTOMATED SENSORS ON THE OCEAN SIDE INDICATED THAT TIDAL 
FLOODING WAS NOT OCCURRING AT THIS TIME.

ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL 
DAYS, BUT WINDS TOMORROW ARE EXPECTED TO BE MORE OFFSHORE AND SHOULD 
HELP TO LIMIT ANY TIDAL FLOODING. WINDS SHOULD TURN ONSHORE AGAIN ON 
THURSDAY AND COULD ONCE AGAIN INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF TIDAL 
FLOODING.

THE HIGHER OF THE TWO TIDES WILL OCCUR IN THE EVENING HOURS THE NEXT 
SEVERAL DAYS. HIGH TIDES ON BACK BAYS USUALLY OCCUR A COUPLE HOURS 
AFTER WHAT OCCURS ON THE OCEAN FRONT.

IF YOUR VEHICLE IS PARKED ADJACENT TO A BACK BAY AND YOU SEE WATER 
RISING, BE PREPARED TO MOVE IT.
